This is somewhat directly related to the new Star Control game Stardock is working on, it's actually been out for awhile, so many of you may already know. On steam there is a "utility" called Star Swarm Stress Test, it's a tech demo of the Nitrous game engine.. which if you missed it will be powering the new Star Control game. It also shows off DX11 and Mantle if you can benefit with hardware that handles it.

I think this is pretty cool and I'm excited to see how it is implemented. I have decided that I'm going to enjoy the new game even if it does not conform to canon or my expectations for the story. I figure it only hurts myself if I'm being butt-hurt about it.
